Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, indirect and varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting. Acclimate the coral gradually to its chosen intensity and watch its response before making further placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently move the torch polyps without blasting the fleshy tissue with a strong direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location, allow time for acclimation, and adjust only if its response indicates the position is unsuitable.

Temperament

Give this aggressive coral generous spacing. Torch corals can sting nearby corals, so keep vulnerable neighbors well outside its reach as its polyps extend and move in the current.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid forcing food onto the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions, with particular attention to salinity and alkalinity, and avoid sudden changes. Observe polyp extension, tissue condition, and neighboring corals regularly so flow, placement, or spacing concerns can be addressed early.

Allow space, stable conditions, and gentle indirect movement for long-term care.
